I've searched and searched everywhere in Powerpoint 2007 and I cannot find it
anywhere. Please help!
 
MariaEll,

For PPT 2003, WordArt includes a circular text function that will make text
run
around in a circle. Click on the WordArt icon in the Drawing toolbar (that
button with the slanted blue "A" on it), select a WordArt style (any style is
fine, but I recommend the third style from the left on the first line for
this example), and click OK. Then, select a font size, type in your text, and
click OK. Finally, from the WordArt toolbar, click on the WordArt shape icon,
select a circle, and presto! - your text goes around and around...

I don't know what options PowerPoint 2007 would give you if you're using
that, but anyway, for version up through 2003 (?), I think this will do what
you want it to (if I'm understanding you correctly ;-) ).

Type the text, then select the textbox. Select Drawing Tools Format | Text
Effects | Transform. In the Warp section, choose Circle.

Then adjust the size of the textbox so the text is on a circle rather than
an oval. Fine-tune the spacing using the pink diamond. Change the font size
as you typically would -- with the minibar or the tools on the Home tab.
